The world has become brittle
While we do so little
Not in tweets not in memes
But in the way, we fallow our dreams
It takes courage to bring honest words to life
We say thing wrong we say things right
As we pass the blame for these verbal fights
The world has become brittle
As those in power think so little
Locking doors to compassion
They might control the dollars, but we are one nation
It took strength to sit, it took strength to kneel
Harriet could have died, as history books placed on the shelf to hide
As our children celebrate the tattooed faces
The world has become brittle
Forcing society to change their pronouns
Just because your not who you think you are
This journey is yours forcing the movement just slows it down
There is no medicine that will heal an ego that seeks to kill
A coward that hides behind power, this filth doesn\'t wash off in the shower
It takes courage to give truth a voice that is what speaks louder
Stop being so brittle
Stop thinking so little
Look at where you have come from and laugh
